Merry Christmas and HO HO HO to all my FB peeps…. I havent posted lately, so I thought a pre-Christmas update was needed. Yes… I spent 16 days in Vandy… and then they finally kicked me out…. and like Dorothy says…theres no place like home. Im getting stronger… and now Im driving… so the walls arent closing in that much. Im healing well… and trying to build my endurance. This surgery kicked me harder than I expected… but Im on the rebound. Keith is a great cheerleader and wonderful support. I would be so lost without him. Hes working with me daily to not become a chair-potato….lol ( as he puts it ) which is great cause he keeps me moving. I met my recent goal of making it to the wedding of my sweet work-wife Julie Hardys wedding….. it was a great night to see her and Duane get married. And just to be in a celebration with so many friends… it was a great night…. We have spent each night since December 1 watching a Christmas movie which has been great…. ( yes… there are that many )….Today is wrapping day for me… This is going to be a great… but slow Christmas…(lol).. I move like my grandpa at times….lol. The next round of chemo starts in a week or so. Looks like Im going to be at home through February as of right now. My doctors want to watch this LAST round of chemo and its affects on me… and I have to build back my endurance so that I can return to work …. which I miss a lot. Thanks to everyone for all the cards…. the funny texts messages I get… the calls and visits… and most of all … the prayer. I can definitely say that this roller coaster ride has improved me… from my spiritual side to just my overall outlook on life and my plans for our future…. Im learning to not sweat the small crap… all it does is upset your body. Things are going to be a lot different. I just gotta get moving more….lol Im wishing a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you and your families and loved ones… 2014 wont go down as my favorite year but 2015 starts with a cancer free body and a cleansed heart and mind. You are all in my prayers…(even the FB friends Ive never met…LOL ) . Ho Ho Ho…. jim
